I have a box of assorted 1GB and 4GB USB drives.

Funny how stuff you’ve had for years just feels “normal” even when it’s highly unusual.

    pissing around with network shares.

    What? Why is that a concern when we have tools like Transfer, Mozilla Send instances, etc.? I literally even just use Bluetooth at times.

    I once had a USB flash drive break because the exterior detached from the rest of the body in the housing by, like, 1mm while pulling it out; all the files on it were instantly, permanently lost. I will never again use physical file-transfering that involves frequent insertion and removal if I can avoid it, because you’re physically stressing the unit every time you pull on it (a drive that is always connected is totally fine, by comparison).
